feminine products. the sales tax in d.c. is currently 5.75%. it's part of mother nature. we should not have to pay taxes on him thing that god intended something for a woman to do. it just really don't make sense. i know they are not that pressed for money. is not taxed. there are some natural functions that women and the bees, in particular, have, and we has been taxing the utilization of their materials, it seems, forever. john: right now in the district, prescription drugs and medical products like wheelchairs and pacemakers are currently exempt from a sales tax. councilmember a need a bond and at least three others today say this should be no different. jummy:

not the middle of april. 38 in annapolis and 40 -- that's warm -- at reagan national. we will climb through the mid-orders for the afternoon, it with persistent wind, will feel a lot colder. plenty of sunshine. the sun is high enough and intense enough now that you feel the radiant warmth very clearly. even a day like this, you leave your car parked outside in the sunshine, you will be cold and when you get in, it is really warm. nature is fighting in a losing battle. another big setback coming saturday with cold air. wind out of the north right now with clouds moving out of the area. futurecast shows the northerly wind flow will change a little bit. away from the water influence, it's going to be cold again with temperatures in the 20's. get through the day tomorrow mo

through thursday, thursday morning with more rain. then cooler temperatures. here is the big area under the freeze warning tonight. it's widespread from the mountains all the way to the atlantic ocean. everybody has to watch out for a freeze overnight. might wind up near 32 at reagan national. we still have this up and down stuff going on. 80% chance of rain. into the 60's thursday. friday, morning showers. the weekend, 40's on saturday, 52 sunday. will that be the beginning of a long-term warm up? i would not bet on it. jummy: and i thought you were coming to say that after that 65, we will just be on the up and up. doug: i would like to, but that would just be wishcasting. jummy: the buzzer beater ev
